Green Car Guide

How much do green cars cost and how much can I save?

There are many forms of car available to you today. When purchasing a car think about the fuel efficiency and emissions. Green cars are affordable and cost much the same price as conventional cars.

Small cars are much more fuel efficient than large cars, they produce fewer toxic emissions and if driven sensibly can substantially lower your fuel bill. You could also save up to £80 per year on road tax if you purchase a small car.

Each car has a different fuel efficiency; the better the fuel efficiency the more environmentally friendly it is likely to be, and the more you will save on your fuel bill. Check the fuel efficiency before you buy a car by looking at the MPG (miles per gallon). The higher the MPG, the better the fuel efficiency.
